I just heard that the contract colleges don't reject people ED. Is this true??

<p>Is this true?? And if it is it makes getting in after a deferral so much harder than I had thought.</p>

2

<p>Not true...CALS rejected people in the ED round</p>

3

<p>what about ILR?</p>

4

<p>I believe ILR only accepts and defers during the ED round....and I believe they are the only college at Cornell to do so.</p>

5

<p>wow that is not comforting at all. I feel even worse about my deferral now. Does this mean getting in after deferral at ILR is harder than at any other school?</p>

6

<p>^I would assume it makes the competition more difficult but I don't have any numbers to show what percentage of deferred applicants are accepted in the RD round.</p>

7

<p>Haha. That'd be nuts.</p>

8

<p>ugh this makes me so unbelievably depressed. The only thing that got be through that deferral was that at least they liked me enough not to reject me. Now I don't even have that thought.</p>

<p>Don't all applications go in the same pool (RD and Deferred)? I would assume so, which means that you have the same "chance" of getting in as someone who only applied RD; that is, if you application was competitive to begin with. In other words, deferred applications aren't compared to just deferred applications, but rather everyone who applied anyway so being deferred is kind of like you applied RD to begin with. You should just look at it that way. Correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>I'm going to you agree with you Cornelli</p>

<p>ILR is the only school that only accepts and defers (no rejections) in the early round. At least that was what I heard (I need to add a lot of disclaimers now; Gosh people get so pumped up easily on this forum).</p>

<p>I wish I could find the link but I remember seeing CALS deferred 21%, accepted 3_%, and rejected the rest</p>

<p>That is the ED stats of the whole university this year.</p>

While the increase in applications may have come as a surprise, it did not affect the University’s distribution of decisions, the number of applicants offered admission barely fell from last year’s 37 percent to 36.68 percent. While acceptances remained steady, there was a definite increase in rejections instead of deferrals. The percentage of applicants denied rose from 34.84 to 40.23 while the percentage of applicants deferred declined from 25.89 to 21.53.

<p>If you subtract the ILR deferrals, CALS's deferral rate should be slightly, if not significantly, lower.</p>

<p>really? couldve sworn i saw it on CALS page for their college. oh well you're probably right. I am a sleep-deprived collegekid :P</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many people applied ED to CALS?</p>
